The average Malaysian HNW portfolio invests heavily into local residential property, local equities, cash and near-cash products, and domestic government bonds. Over the next two years allocation into property, commodities, and bonds is expected to increase strongly.

Relationship managers' own contacts are the most common means of attracting new clients to Malaysian wealth managers.
